4 Days Desert Tour from Marrakech to Rabat via Sahara Desert

4 Days

Explore the Sahara on a 4 Day Journey from Marrakech to Rabat

This 4 days tour from Marrakech to Rabat is for travelers who looking to experience something special and discover the wonders of Morocco. During these 4 days and 3 nights, you cross Morocco from the High Atlas Mountains and the Tizi n’Tichka pass to the historic Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as the historic Kasbah of Amridil, the Todgha Gorge, and the Dades Gorge, before reaching the Sahara Desert and then up through the Middle Atlas to the imperial cities, finishing in the capital.

The route is packed with contrasts: mountain roads and viewpoints, classic kasbah scenery, dramatic canyons, and a night in the dunes near Merzouga. After the desert, the landscape cools down as you enter cedar forests and alpine-style towns before reaching in the imperial cities of Fes and Meknes. The final day ends in Rabat with time for its main landmarks.
